Thankful November-Grateful forLa Quinta Country ClubWe joined the La Quinta Country Club in 2000. It is hard to believe that this is our 26th season here.  When we became members, I had no way to know how grateful I would be for the friendships we would make and the years of fun we would savor.  I also did not know that I would begin a career here that has spanned 19 years in real estate.  I began as an assistant for another agent and at the time, many of our friends from the Pasadena area were discovering La Quinta CC, joining and buying homes here.  I decided that it was time for me to get to work!  Once I secured my license, it took a few years to find my footing.  I was working with clients all over the valley.  I had a lease listing in Ranch Mirage, sales of condos in Palm Desert, ... 11/13/2025

SPEECHLESS SUNDAY: View from the TIPSMost of the time when I play golf, I head from the 12th green straight across to the 13th tee.  But now, when the course is closed for overseeding, I am walking the entire course and following the cart paths.  If you head back to the tips, on #13, you are treated to this gorgeous view I captured yesterday!   10/12/2025

My Most Heartfelt ❤️ ... Aren't they all at LQCC?I am truly blessed to live, work, and play in La Quinta Country Club.  Our neighborhood surrounds a prestigious golf course, one of the oldest in the Palm Springs area.  The Bob Hope Classic was played here, and now continues at the AMEX PGA event every January.  We are surrounded by the Santa Rosa mountains, and nestled in the heart of La Quinta, close to Old Town, the La Quinta Resort, golf, dining, shopping, tennis, and hiking nearby. Most of my clients through the years have been retired and enjoying the last years of their life playing golf, socializing, and having fun living the desert life.  Because of this, when they reach the end of their time here-- one of them becomes ill, or passes, or they are no longer able to travel to the ... 08/27/2025

Focusing on What You Love! ❤️ When I began my Real Estate career 18 years ago I was all over the place.  All over our valley I mean.  The Coachella Valley contains a string of cities that run from the west in  Palm Springs to the eastern towns of Coachella and Mecca.  I have lived in Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, and now am happily in La Quinta.  I worked where-ever I could and took listings many, many miles from where I lived. I learned about neighborhoods over an hour away. As my business grew I learned some valuable lessons.  I was spreading myself too thin.  I needed to listen to my that voice in my head that said "focus on what you know and love".   I began referring business to local agents that covered the Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, and Palm Desert neighborhoods.  I wanted my cli... 07/10/2025

La Quinta Country Club Series: 3. The Real EstateThe Lawrence Hughes designed championship golf course opened in 1959 and real estate soon followed.  Because each enclave of homes and neighborhoods were built  and developed over time, there are multiple HOA's. There are several gates to access the homes, some with guards, others with key/cards and clickers. The country club itself can only be accessed by car from its front gate, but you can drive  there from the neighborhoods in your golf cart. For newcomers it can be a bit puzzling to figure out.From 2-3 bedroom condos to 4-5 bedroom luxury homes, there is an eclectic mix of properties at La Quinta Country Club.The neighborhoods are nestled in the heart of La Quinta, CA surrounded by the Santa Rosa mountains.  The mountains wrap around... 09/05/2023
